Hughes confirmed that Price could potentially miss the entire 2022-23 campaign.
"At this point in time, the news in terms of Carey's knee is pretty discouraging in the sense that there hasn't been any improvement through the rehab process all last season. Obviously, it continued to create problems for him. This summer, he went through the process of a shot to the knee, seeing if that would help. It did not, and at this point, we don't expect Carey to be available for the start of the season," stated Hughes, during a Zoom call to discuss the acquisition of Sean Monahan from the Calgary Flames. "Quite frankly, I don't know that there's a path for Carey to return this season through the rehab process."
